Phil Mushnick: Gregg Giannotti has cleaned up Boomer Esiason

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Gregg Giannotti seems to be a lock as Boomer Esiason’s new full-time partner.

Giannotti, 2006 Hofstra grad and former FAN intern, thus far has been heard as credible, clever and clean — criteria avoided by Carton in accordance with the how-to-succeed-in-radio manual. Residually, perhaps, Esiason is now more inclined toward good conversation, limiting his obligatory coarse tack-ons.

We continued, "Get rid of Al Dukes and Jerry Recco. Get a fresh producer and update person for the fresh new look to boot. The show was tired before the arrest." Before adding: "Move sweaty Brandon Tierney in there 12/18/17. Tierney is just a notch below Giannotti on the humor side. Strong sports guy perfect for afternoon arguments. And if you can get Sid Rosenberg...get him. They'd work perfectly together. If Sid is unavailable -- find somebody else eventually. 5+ hours is a lot for one person every day. Rosenberg is the ideal. Kim Jones, great."
